The arson/subway attacks were early this morning, and mostly disrupted commuters going to work and Parisians heading out of the area. Spectators weren't allowed anywhere near the Seine to watch until the afternoon

Have fun!

Yes - have a great time! How are you liking the ceremony?

Not the PP, but the fashion show part was awful. I noticed the us coverage tried to avoid that part though.

Ok, is this masked dude on the horse carrying the flame? I just tuned in.

Also, I hate the vertigo-inducing clips of sports all mashed together.

It was atrocious. I liked everything else.

YouTube-esque video clips should not be part of a world-class live show

I am loving the Art Deco styling. Very cool.

I wish we got a little text blurb or comment on each piece of music.

The fake one took forever to get there.

I think the whole event is drawn out because of the ‘stage’. Just stick with a stadium.

The opening of World Cup football tournaments seems like elopement compared to openings of the Olympics.

Because the culture here drives global trends.
